What Is The Life Expectancy For A Diabetic Person With Multiple Stents And A Family History Of Fatal Heart Attacks?

My fiancé has 9 stents and just recently had 2 stents places in his LAD. He is 62 years old, a diabetic and has a family history of heart disease and deaths due to heart attacks.
What would be his life expectancy at this point and how long do stents usually last?

Hi,

We can not predict life expectancy of person. Many individuals live decades with stent. He can do routine followup and take medicines appropriately.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
